Declaration of Rights of Man & Citizen
The Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen had laws to protect the citizens from corrupt government and inequality. These laws did not apply to women and they were not intended to be applied to colored men either. These laws were created to prevent the government and the people from using corrupt methods to gain money and power. The Declaration states that all men will be treated equal, yet it doesn't protect colored men from injustices and inequalities.
